The video tutorial explains how to simplify expressions using exponents. It covers the simplification of expressions like X^7 / X^2 and T^29 / T^16 by applying the quotient property of exponents, which involves subtracting the exponents when the bases are the same. The tutorial also demonstrates the simplification of 2^8 / 2^4 and evaluates it to 16. Additionally, it discusses the subtraction of powers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing the operation being performed to apply the correct exponent property.
